Fastest Emira in Real World: V6 Auto?!

Komotec advise that their 475 hp package puts out 455 hp on IPS auto cars due to 20hp transmission losses. I'm not convinced butt dyno would notice, and IPS shifts are still quicker than manual

I have all the updates and the DCT is very fast. I wish people would stop talking about the delays that perhaps reflect an older software version

Yeah- Lotus really shot them self in the foot by asking the Auto Mags to eval the early demo car before they worked out all the shifting issues. And foolishly Lotus never pushed for a fully review when the new 400+ US car was released.

C&D only did a one pager in [Drivelines]. Inserting article incase you haven't seen before..
The revised Turbo is very impressive, and based on the numbers I suspect the stock US/Chinese cars have about 420HP. Basically the typical HP in Mercedes.

Brooks review(dragtimes) - impartial guy not predisposed to a stick car. He's been review cars for 25 years and evaled 100s of exotic cars and owns them as well. He ran 3.4s and 3.3s to 60mph in the turbo
